Wrenn Schmidt: Dr. Iris Campbell

Quotes 

• Dr. Iris Campbell : I'm trying to help you, Detective. You are heading down a dark path, and you'll wind up getting yourself killed. All these incidents, I think you enjoy shooting people.

  John Reese : No, I don't. I hate it. But it's what I'm good at, and it's what I have to do.

  Dr. Iris Campbell : You don't have to save everyone.

  John Reese : Yes, I do. There are far too many bad people in this world, and not enough good. I knew a detective once, and she was the best cop I ever knew. Never lost sight of good and evil. I couldn't save her. Now, this job is dangerous. You think I am too. So be it. Maybe that makes me unfit to be a cop. If I don't save these people, nobody else will.

  Dr. Iris Campbell : [Smiles slightly]  I think we're making progress.

• Dr. Iris Campbell : I don't think you realize how serious this is. You're under investigation. You could lose your job. I need to make sure you're not dangerous, to yourself or to others.

  John Reese : Dangerous? People are in danger. I help them.

  Dr. Iris Campbell : Detective Riley, most officers are never in a shootout. You've seen six. You either have a hero complex or a death wish.
